We ended up in this hotel a little by accident and lastminute.com. I wm so glad we did. The hotel is just exceptional, beautiful, super clean and just wonderful. The bqlcony opens onto the Nile and you can admire the sunrise. There is fantastic Nubian village with lots of stalks where you can buy gifts and spices. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was fantqstic too. I honestly recommend it to anyone.

I'm incredibly glad I chose to stay here. The hotel is in a spectacular location. My room had a direct view to Philae Temple. So much light - the room was mostly glass walls looking out over the water. I had not just a huge balcony but my own private little heated pool with jets at one end. The sunrise and sunset were amazing. The decor in the room was charming. The bed was very comfortable, The shower had great pressure and nice, hot, water. The staff were great. They couldn't do enough for me. Everything was spotless. The food was great, the menu had a lot of variety. I was a little concerned when I arrived and realised I had to get a boat back and forth to the mainland for my tours, but the boat was always there as soon as I expressed a need to get going. And it was always waiting for me when I got back, sometimes before I even called for it. I wish I could stay forever. I will certainly be back if I am ever in Aswan again. In fact, I might come back, just for the hotel.

The hotel was cozy and comfortable, and the staff were helpful and courteous. They ensured that refreshments and amenities were always available. The view was beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the atmosphere in the evenings. The hotel organized a gathering that brought together locals and guests, featuring Nubian music and dancing. It was an amazing experience with an intimate and very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were respectful and went above and beyond to ensure the guests' comfort. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The hotel also arranged trips to various attractions by boat and car, and you could take a camel ride into the desert directly from the hotel. The location was excellent, right next to the bazaar but still peaceful and private. There was also an ATM located right in front of the hotel. I initially booked the hotel for a few nights but extended my stay because I enjoyed it so much. They even upgraded my room to a larger one with a private terrace and a stunning view of the river! I also really appreciated the beautiful paintings and decorations, which added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. I dined at the hotel every day, and the food was absolutely incredible – fresh and flavorful! I highly recommend this place; it offers excellent value for money.

Traveled extensively but this is by far the best place I've stayed at. I was immediately made to feel welcome by the warm staff. I had a very comfy room and balcony with a gorgeous view over the Nile. Perfect for an extra "chill day" to finish a novel in between sightseeing Ancient Egypt. The restaurant serves some amazing local fare with extremely generous portions. The included breakfast was enough to see me through to dinner. I had some concerns about the remoteness of the location, but getting here from the airport was a breeze, and tour companies were happy to arrange a pickup here. The views of the Nile and the relative tranquility would make me choose this over central Aswan any day.

    the hotel is very close to the train station. perfect for the sleeper train from Cairo. the hotel itself is very clean - and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. a particular thank you to Madonna and Reeba for being so lovely. the room was spacious, modern, and clean. the beds were comfy and had extra pillows. tea water and a fridge was provided in the room, as well as an ironing board and iron. the bathroom was modern and clean with a stand up shower with a heating tank which worked well. the English spoken at the hotel was very good and the food, pool, and facilities were excellent. we would definitely stay again.

    We book a room at this hotel for one night stay prior our Nile Cruise. Our flight arrival time was 8:30 a.m. and I had ask the hotel if they had a storage room were we could leave our luggage while our room became available. The hotel reply was quick and accommodating. To our surprise, once we arrived at the hotel, they had a room ready for us. We were so exhausted and happy to find a place to lay our head. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

The family running the guesthouse is so welcoming and friendly, they help you with everything, they organised us a felucca, their cousin guided us to the monastery and the tombs of the nobles, the homemade food was delicious and healthy, rooms are comfortable and clean. It was just a pleasure to be at Nubian Lotus. Highly recommend!

    Visit the temples in the afternoon (after 03.00pm) because the is nobody (except perhaps some extroverted sceaming chinese girls - but once they are gone). Yes, it´s hotter than in the morning and the light is not prefect. but you will have the temple for yourself and you will be able to make perfect photos from inside.

    The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.

    The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing. I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money. His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you. We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!

    The bed was super comfortable and the balcony view of the nile was beautiful during sunrise. Hotel can offer roundtrip shared van to Abu Simbel and they provided a packed breakfast. Location is set to more calm side of Aswan blending with the locals. ATMs are nearby as well as few restaurants and many local shops. You can also take the boat for a trip or to the other side of Aswan. Aircon and hot shower were working fine.

    From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced not just as a guest, but as family. The warmth and genuine hospitality of the entire household created a peaceful refuge that allowed me to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. I especially appreciated the loving way they cared for their children, the heartfelt conversations, and their openness to cultural exchange. The meals were nourishing, the environment was clean and safe, and the small, thoughtful gestures—like helping with errands or offering fruit—left a deep impression on me. I was also moved by their humility, sincerity, and the quiet strength with which they manage the responsibilities of life.

    We spent a lot of our time just enjoying Elephantine island, which is quite, safe, and very relaxing, compared to much of the rest of what we experienced in Egypt. There is certainly enough to explore in Aswan that one could easily spend several days.

    Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking.

    Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking. We visited around noon on a blessed day during Ramadan, so there weren't many tourists. At times, it felt like we had the entire sites to ourselves. You can walk or take a transport cart to the sites.

    Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region.

    Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region. It s a great stopover for a break after the madness of the tourist sites. The Nubian village ( with the colored walls, where all the motor boats end up) on the other side of the town has been a place where i could have made local friends if I stayed longer. Of course the money making is also there in the mindset, and it s over touristic but you experience the vib of a local village if you stay overnight there. I suggest Ekadolli guesthouse for location outside the touristic area, still close enough to the village, up a hill offering nice view at the Nil. Nebro Guesthouse is better if you wish to wake up right beside the river, in the heart of the village but quiet enough.

    In my case it was a check on my to do list.

    In my case it was a check on my to do list. Went from Luxor day one, over night in Abu Simbel town and day 2 visit the tempel for 2 hours, then back to Luxor, a trip 2 x 500 km. Interesting to have seen, impressive story!
